Detailed Description

This Stabilus gas spring is specified for 2007-2009 Saturn Aura applications and matches the listed dimensions and connection style for a straightforward replacement. The 330 N force rating helps support liftgate, hood, or hatch operation where the original strut has weakened, lost pressure, or no longer holds position properly. This part cross-references AMS Automotive 6171 for the same application.

Common Issues It Can Help Solve

  • Weak or sagging panel support
  • Hood, hatch, or liftgate that drops unexpectedly
  • Slow or uneven opening action
  • Loss of gas pressure in the original strut
  • Noise or binding from a worn socket connection

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the extended length, compressed length, rod diameter, tube diameter, and socket-style end fittings before installation. Compare the original strut to Stabilus 5B-418496 to confirm the 330 N force rating and overall dimensions match the vehicle application. Install with the vehicle support panel secured and replace only after confirming the mounting points are clean and undamaged.
